buildout.dumppickedversions2 1.1

buildout.dumppickedversions2

buildout.dumppickedversions2 is a simple buildout extension
that mimicks the features of buildout.dumppickedversions for
buildout version 2.0.1 or later.

The problem and it’s solution

After upgrading buildout to version 2 you’ll notice that use of
buildout.dumppickedversions has been disabled. This has been
done because part of the features of buildout.dumppickedversions
have been integrated into buildout.

However the overwriting behavior of buildout.dumppickedversions
has not been integrated. This extension monkey patches the built-in
version dumping so it behaves more like buildout.dumppickedversions.

An added benefit is that the configuration options haven’t been
changed. This means that upgrading you buildout file is a simple
addition of the number two to extensions = buildout.dumppickedversions.

buildout.dumppickedversions2 requires zc.buildout 2.0.1 or later.

buildout.dumppickedversions2 options

dump-picked-versions-file

A file name you want buildout.dumppickedversions to write to.
If not given buildout.dumppickedversions will dump the versions to the
screen. The latter behavior is now built into buildout and can be enabled
without an extension by setting show-picked-versions to true.

overwrite-picked-versions-file

If set to true, buildout.dumppickedversions will overwrite the file
defined in dump-picked-versions-file if it exists. This value
defaults to True.
